From -Anonymous-: Once you're moved in, you are put at the bottom of Latrobe's priority list.

Latrobe: Escort Central (Not Recommending)

2004-11-17T17:24:49-06:00

From hypnoras: Despite the appearance of good security, the larger security issue for this building is the large number of escorts that seem to operate from this building.

Latrobe: Don´t be fooled (Not Recommending)

2004-01-26T00:00:00-06:00

From -Anonymous-: I am still trying to decipher how on earth this place can justify a 14% rent increase. They do lure you in with somewhat reasonable rates and then "suprise" you with huge rate increases.
